By Matt Dobson, Cherry Willingham CC
On Friday, July 3 Cherry Willingham are playing against North Crawley (from Milton Keynes) in memory of our former player Mally Elsey.
Mally, who represented Cherry, Market Rasen and Claytons in the Lincolnshire League, was tragically killed in a road traffic accident just before Christmas.
The North Crawley connection is via Stewart Phillipson, another former Cherry player who features heavily in the Lincs League handbook from his days at Claytons. He and Mally were best mates and drinking buddies.
Phillo’ himself lost an eye last year in an on-field cricket accident - he top-edged a ball into his eye, off a slow bowler.
The game is for Mally’s chosen charity, and a team of Cherry player’s from past and present will take the field.
